Burner cap flame stabilization chamber

Abstract

A gas burner cap for a cooking appliance includes a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side of the cap is configured to face a corresponding burner body. One or more flame-stabilization chambers are located on the bottom side of the cap.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to burner caps and, more particularly, to a burner cap for use on a gas cooktop and having a flame stabilization chamber therein. Background technique [0002] Atmospheric gas burners are commonly used as surface units in domestic gas cookers. An important factor in the performance of gas burners is their ability to resist air disturbances in the environment, such as room drafts, fast movement of cabinet doors and, most commonly, rapid operation of oven doors. Oven door operation is particularly annoying because the rapid opening and closing of the oven door often creates a corresponding underpressure and overpressure environment within the oven body. Because the flue, through which the products of combustion exit the furnace, is sized to maintain the desired furnace temperature and is often insufficient to provide sufficient airflow for rebalancing, a large amount of air passes over or around the gas burner.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] An additional problem is that quickly adjusting the fuel supply to a gas burner from a high burner input rate to a low burner input rate often causes the flame to go out as the fuel is reduced but the momentum of the entraining air stream continues into combustion device, which causes an immediate drop in the gas-to-air ratio, causing flameout
